Obesity and health problems related to weight gain continually increase. The calories in versus the calories out system is flawed and diets, for many, do not work.... This is a striking statement.
I've recently discovered the Low Carb High Fat lifestyle and I'm intrigued by its effect on the body and it raises so many questions on our current healthy eating beliefs.
Is it not how much we eat but what we eat that is causing our obesity epidemic?? Let us discuss....

Post 8: General Post

It's been awhile since I've blogged, however I have still been reading many articles on low carb high fat lifestyles and I find all this research fascinating, the effect on the body is overwhelmingMy scientific knowledge is fairly new in human biology but I understand enough to make informed choices about my diet. I do find it difficult to make the right choices when out and about as almost every food establishment in town offers chips/potato/pasta and variations of with most meals. This did get me thinking though that not only is the food and issue, but what about how it is prepared and/or cooked?

The gym is going well, I had a personal training plan devised yesterday and I so feel it today! but I find it better to follow that than go aimlessly from one piece of equipment to the next and not really doing anything constructive with my time there.

About Me

Science is my passion especially human biology(currently studying a degree in Medical Physiology) and recently I decided to change my lifestyle after starting on the 5:2 fasting diet. This lead me to read many papers and research on how 5:2 effects the body which then led me to Low Carb High Fat - lchf for short.
The influencing factors of me choosing to follow both these lifestyle choices is the science - how food effects the body.
What I have read so far is extraordinary. The aim of my blog is to in part share my journey of adopting a 5:2/lchf lifestyle with exercising and also to share information to give more people an informed choice about the foods they eat and the relationship to the body.
I hope this will lead to mass discussion of a topic that can and does affect us all.
